Mercy Events

Mercy’s biennial event, Mercy Live, brings together the Sisters of Mercy, members of the Board of Trustees, Mercy physicians and administration, as well as leaders from Baltimore’s corporate community for a gala style celebration.  

Heat It To Beat It, is a walk to raise awareness and funds for HIPEC surgery research and education to treat peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), a common and complex presentation of a variety of cancers of the abdominal cavity.

Since its inception in 2010, Heat It To Beat It has raised over $870,000 to support research led by Dr. Armando Sardi, Director of The Institute for Cancer Care at Mercy Medical Center, and his colleague Dr. Vadim Gushchin.

BRAnanza is an innovative display of artistically-designed bras. The event supports The Fund for Excellence in Women’s Health and Medicine.

Beyond the visual creativity of each bra is a story. Most inspiration evolves from an experience or is a dedication. The compelling designs and inspiring stories combine to create a very special event.

Funds raised at this event support the important work of the Forensic Nursing Program at Mercy, which has been providing care for victims of abuse and violence in the Baltimore area for more than 20 years. Mercy was the first hospital in Maryland to develop this specialized program and is the designated site for forensic patients in Baltimore City. To learn more about the event, contact us.

BreastFest is The Tyanna Foundation’s signature event that invites us to celebrate life, celebrate survivors and remember those we have lost to breast cancer.

A 100% volunteer organization, The Tyanna Foundation gets its name from Tyanna Barre O’Brien who lost her battle with breast cancer at the age of 48. Through the work of her five daughters - Anne, Bridget, Megan, Sara, and Katie - Tyanna’s legacy lives on.

Mercy's Tyanna O'Brien Center for Women's Imaging was named in remembrance of Tyanna O'Brien and in support of the tireless work her daughters do to raise awareness of breast cancer.

The Tyanna Foundation has donated more than $1.5 million dollars to The Hoffberger Breast Center at Mercy to provide critical support services and treatment devices for those going through treatment. 

There are two events benefiting Mercy each year – BreastFest Baltimore and BreastFest Dewey Beach. 

Stella Maris Crab Feast and Auction

The Stella Maris Crab Feast and Auction is held each year to benefit hospice services and the Monsignor Lyness Fund, providing financial support for hospice patients and their families. For more information or to buy tickets, please visit the website. 

Stella Maris Wine Tasting 

The annual Wine Tasting & Auction has become one of Stella Maris’ most successful and important fund raising events to benefit the needs of those long term care residents who call Stella Maris home. It’s a good time for a great cause – enhancing the quality of life for Stella Maris residents! For more information, please visit the Stella Maris website or contact us.

A number of organizations hold events to benefit Mercy Medical Center. Examples include:

• The Darrell Sneed Memorial Golf Outing, held near Indianapolis, Indiana, benefits The Institute for Cancer Care at Mercy.

• The Porsche Club of America, Chesapeake Region, donated proceeds from a silent auction held at its annual “Chesapeake Challenge” to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Mercy. These funds support the annual NICU reunion and other special needs of Mercy’s tiniest patients.

• The Painted Pallet in Mt. Washington dedicated its first “Paint What You Love” event to Mercy Medical Center. Funds raised at the event benefited The Fund for Excellence in Women’s Health and Medicine.
